J-22M1A - History Performance And Discussion

Two-seat variant of the J-22M1A (They have the same designation for the 2 seat training variant for some reason as stated by the pilot in the video), with a bit different weapon loadout shown. No single seat variants shown (the two seat variant is mostly used for training pilots i guess).

This was a loadout for the live fire excercise. Tho the range where the live fire excercise was used is really small, from what I saw everything was capped at 20km out. Except the glide bombs.

2 seat variant is the NJ-22 (Nastavni Jurišnik - Trainer/Attacker) as far as im aware now they didnt change the name like the M1A to designate the upgrades

The pilot in the video said it is the M1A variant, thus my confusion

Unless they also brought the NJs up to M1A spec which would make sense due to cockpit and avionics changes
But even finding source materials on the M1A is difficult

NJ-22M1A just exist. Its more often than J-22M1A

Stunner of an aircraft. Im just waiting for the G2 and J21

Are there any reliable sources that would say that ASVL-500 is a container for MITL?

As far as I can see, the VRVZ-200 doesn’t have MITL. Official brochures don’t mention it.

However, I’ve seen frequent mentions of it in unofficial sources. So where did they come from?



What are these?

I saw a few of these images, including one showing a version equipped with R-60s. However, that isn’t the variant we have in the game, so it could easily be added as a separate vehicle in the tech tree.

I really hope we get a Yugoslav tech tree in the future and then they can pull off a what they did with Israel and remove all the premiums.

Chinese Guided Bomb FT-6

They’re just slow Kosava’s, easy to shoot down. Its a fun gimmick but not as good as simply rippling off 6x IR AGMs in the 10.7 A-10A in quick succession and returning to the airfield

There’s even MITL at 10.3 on the Buccaneer.

Heads up, for future reference, any weapon with the TV or IR guidance, the IOG and GNSS tags can be ignored because they don’t technically do anything yet, the TV IR part always overrides it.

Yep, just ignore the A-7D in the corner with 6 mavs, 2 GBU-8s and AAMs… nothing to see there…

And I have pulled my 9.7 Japanese line up a few times to test these OP new Russian planes and not seen one, so clearly they are not OP either, case closed.

They do appear on radar, check your radar settings

There is no issue

IoG does work with TV and IR guidance. It is the fallback condition in the event the seeker loses lock of the target, it will follow the target’s expected path.

It doesn’t actually, when they lose lock they just stop turning and glide in, same as any TV/IR without IOG would. If its already in the terminal approach phase, that glide path can still cause it to hit maybe. But if it hasn’t turned into approach yet, if its lofting for example, then it will glide off target.

IOG/GNSS only work on pre-launch while not locked on to a target, but IR/TV can only be fired locked on so by default overrides the IOG/GNSS

You realise IOG and GNSS are different, right?

GNSS is not a fallback condition for IR/TV munitions, and does not mean anything to the weapon at present. IOG is a fallback condition where the weapon, upon losing track, falls back to inertial guidance. This means it follows the current path, assuming the target is taking a consistent path. This can be easily demonstrated by launching a weapon, and having the target move on a path that begins in the open and is then covered. The missile assumes the path, and if the target follows that assumed path, it will resume tracking once it is unobscured.

It is part of what makes weapons like kh38 so tedious.
